On Sept. 17 and 18 it brought together experts from across the United States to discuss ethical failures by government and business leaders and strategies to avoid behaviors that compromise lives and institutions.
In his talk, Hanson addressed questions like: “Do we need a rebirth of selfless leadership to solve the critical problems of 21st century global society?” His talk was followed by a panel discussion with Joan Humes, chief deputy general counsel of Medtronic, and Neil Hamilton, director of the Holloran Center.
